UN Restores Georgia’s Right to Vote

The UN General Assembly passed a resolution on October 11 over restoration of Georgia’s right to vote at the UN until 30 June 2005, the Georgian Foreign Ministry reported on October 12. 


Recently the Fifth Committee of the UN, which deals with budgetary and administrative issues, submitted this recommendation to the UN General Assembly.


Georgia was deprived of the right to vote at the UN on June 30 due to membership fee arrears. Georgia must annually transfer USD 766,299 to the UN budget between 2004-2013 to cover the existing debt. The Fifth Committee’s green light to restore Georgia’s right to vote was possible only after the Georgian government paid its debt for 2004.
